She doesn't want to attend a very small school or one that is only undergrads, so LACs are out.

The ones that the mix of majority undergrad (or at least 50/50) and 5K-10K undergrads are:
"Ivy plus": Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Penn
"New Ivies": Vanderbilt, Case Western, Notre Dame, Tufts, Rice
Other: BC, Lehigh, Villanova

Any others we're missing? She's looking at top 50-ish for her reach/targets.

Interesting to see the same usuals rush to write the college they are boosting for without reading the damn question. Example: northwestern.

False. NU has 8-9k undergrads and 14k+ graduate students.

Yes but many of those grad students are on the Chicago campus.

Why do NU boosters jump through hoops to make sure their school is included? Embarrassing.

Case Western, Emory, Rice, Tufts and Wash. U. all meet those conditions.

All the ones in bold do meet both requirements.

But WashU does not. It's not majority undergraduate, although it's mid-size.

Yeah what does this mean? Grad students don’t have that much interaction with undergraduates, nor do they desire to do so. Does she just like having older students around?

Prob don't want professors primarily focused on and competing for research opps with grad students. When an institution is majority undergrad, profs are more likely to engage/give research opps to undergrads too.

She is looking for a Mrs degree, preferably from a grad student

Richmond is a good school but too small for OPs parameters as undergrad enrollment is only slightly above 3,000 students. It is not a medium sized college
